Why does the salt water generator give false readings in salt water pool?
Take a sample to your local pool shop for all your readings of Free chlorine, Total chlorine, PH, Calcium, Alkalinity and Cyanuric Acids. Once you have a proper reading you will need to re-callobrate your chlorinater.
How much salt do you put in pool that's 8000 gal and using salt generator in pounds and gallons?
The answer is 208 lbs of salt. The equation is roughly 26lbs per 1000 gallons.

Common name and chemical name of salt?
The common name for salt is common salt or table salt.The chemical name for table salt is sodium chloride.The chemical formula for table salt is NaCl which means it contains one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine.
Do you have to buy a salt chlorine generator to have a salt water pool?
Yes. The salt is run through a chlorinator that changes the salt to chlorine. It won't do it by itself so you have to buy the generator to do this.
You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
Why do you need a chlorine generator?
If you have a salt water pool then the chlorine generator is there to convert the salt into chlorine to keep up the chlorine content of the pool. However if you don't have one of these or it is broken down you can always add chlorine directly to make up the shortfall until the necessary repairs are done.
What sizes do salt water pool pumps come in?
They are two different things . The salt chlorine generator is seperate from the pool pump .
Will the salt in a salt water pool with a chlorine generator cause metal pipes to erode and eventually leak?
NO
We have no free chlorine in the pool how much salt do you need to add?
That depends on the size of your pool and the level of salt your chlorine generator needs to properly function (usually 3200-3400ppm). If you do not have a quality salt test, I recommend bringing a sample of your water to a local pool store to be tested. Bring your chlorine generator's manual with you and they will help you find where it shows how much salt to add. If your pool has been low on chlorine for more than a day or two, or if the water is cloudy or green, you will need to add some liquid chlorine to assist the chlorine generator in clearing it up.
When you buy a regular pool with regular pump can you just add salt to pool instead of chlorine tablets?
No, You have to have a salt/Chlorine generator or you'll just be swimming in a slime salt water body of water.
Is Salt filter better than DE filter for pool?
Salt is not a filter, it is added to pool water to allow a chlorine generator to operate.
Salt water pool systems vs chlorine which is better?
A salt water pool is a chlorine pool. The difference is that in a normal fresh water pool you have to add the chlorine as it is required. In the case of the salt water pool salt is added to the pool which is int urn run through a chlorine generator that is installed on the pipe leading from the filter to the pool. The chlorine generator electronically separates chlorine gas out of the salt water which then dissolves into the water automatically maintaining chlorine levels. The adidion of salt to the water makes it more pleasant to swim in and you are spared having to handle and store chlorine at home. but the problem is you are still swimming in Chlorine and now you are also swimming in sodium.
What is pool cell?
Used for salt water pools, it uses salt to create chlorine... here is a more advanced answer.. from me. .. The chlorine generator (also known as salt cell, salt generator, salt chlorinator) uses electrolysis in the presence of dissolved salt (NaCl) to produce hypochlorous acid (HCIO) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), which are the sanitizing agents already commonly used in swimming pools. As such, a saltwater pool is not actually chlorine-free; it simply utilizes a chlorine generator instead of direct addition of chlorine.
Can you switch from chlorine to a saltwater system just by installing a chlorine generator and adding salt?
Yes, you can switch from chlorine to a saltwater system by installing a chlorine generator, also known as a saltwater chlorinator, and adding salt to your pool. The chlorine generator will convert the salt into chlorine to sanitize the water, eliminating the need for manual chlorine additions. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and salt levels.
How do you turn salt into chlorine?
Salt can be turned into chlorine through a process called electrolysis. In a saltwater pool, a salt chlorine generator uses electricity to break down salt molecules into sodium and chloride. The chloride then combines with water to produce chlorine, which sanitizes the pool water.
